Who shall decide when two such doctors as r. G.
Dun and Henry Clews disagree as TO the effect OF
the break in the California wheat pool? Mr.. Dun
takes q gloomy view OF the situation, on the
ground that "Ihe losses OF six or seven millions
viii fall heavily somewhere" Mr.. Clews takes the
cheerful view that 'the recent break In wheat
should largely augment the foreign movement,
and 30 hasten gold imports" and is very well sat
SHED with the whole situation. The fact Is,
doubtless that there Is large loss to be sustained
by somebody on account OF the wheat corner; but
the bulk OF the loss must fall upon the members OF
the speculative ring themselves. Many OF them
are able 70 stand deep.cut into their resources,
and in the cases of those who are not, the suffer-
ing from their deficit will be distributed among
goOdly number OF creditors, so that the effect up
on the public at large will be reduced TO mini
mum. On general principles, the collapse OF a
corner is good thing There ought to be no
speculative corners; and, when they do occur,
the choice between evils is decidedly in favor OF
the evil OF breaking them as distinguished from
the evil Of letting them stand. II the wheat cor
ner had continued without hindrance there would
have been losses on one side and gains on another,
Just as now. The losses would have come out Of
the pockets OF millions Of wheat consumers, whose
money would have gone into the pockets of a
handful Of spectators. Now the movement will
be, by indirsction, the other way. Which OF the
Two Is In every respect preferable it does not take
an unprejudced outsider long to settle In his own
mind.

We have replenished our stock Of ladies' and
Mems Linen HANpKERcHIEFs. and now Of.
fer extraordinary values. prices which We
could not begin to name two months ago, for
the reason that we have found manufacturers
with goods on hand which they wanted to turn
into ready money, and we offer:
200 dozen Ladies' All-Linen Hemstitched,
Printed Border. in . variety of styles which
we have been glad to get heretofore to sell at
1o,sc.; can now offer at 1oc each. They are
every thread pure linen.
100 dozen Ladies' All-Linen White Hem
stitched Handkerchiefs, u inch and inch hem.
tucked and fancy hemstitching, every thread
guaranteed pure linen, only 1Oc each
100 dozen ladies' Extra Fine Linen Cam
brio and Sheer Lawn, X inch and inch hens.
only 12hc. each.
100 dozen Ladies' Extra-Fine Sheer Lawn
hemstitched. with reverse hemstitching, beau
tiful styles. which we have sold the season
past at 25c. each; offer now at 1Sc each, 8 for

chiefs we ever offered less than Csc.
BARGAIN EXTRAORDINARY.
We have closed out from our manufacturer
27S dozen of Ladies' White and Fancy Hem
stitched and Colored Embroidered Handker-
chiefs, ends of lots from to 10 Dozen which
are worth from So to SO per dozen. at q very
low price, and can offer the most magnificent
We have ever shown at
ONLY Csc EACH.
They comprise:
200 dozen Mems 4 Hemstitched Colored
Bordered Linen Cambria Handkerchiefs, very
good quality, warranted every thread linen.
only 12hc. each. Ordinarily we are glad to get
this quality to sell at Tic. each.
100 dozen Mems 4 Hemstitched Colored Bor-
dered Handkerchiefs, extra fine quality and
handsome patterns, only 25c. each.
1UO dozen mems q dem6t1tched White Linen
Cambria Handkerchiefs, h-inch. 1-inch, and
1h-inch hens, very superior quality, only Csc.
each.
100 dozen Children's Au-Linen Handker-
chiefs, colored borders, &C., &C., &c., and 1Oc
each.
We will not knowingly place oh sale any
handkerchiefs that are not pure linen. The
union" (so-called, cotton one way and linen
the other) handkerchiefs look better for the
same price and can scarcely be distinguished
from all linen The only sure tests oftentimes
is to tear the cloth each way. The cotton thread
will tear easily and leave smooth edge. The
linen will be more difficult to tear and will
leave the threads uneven, instead of smooth.
Since we guarantee to sell only pure linen
handkerchiefs, if any customer wishes the test
made the saleswomen are instructed to tear one
to show them.

since last Tuesday and he's once or twice
neared the completion OF a list OF assign
ments, when some inkling of its work
having got abroad, representations aud
objections have been made in such num-
Der and of such character as to require
entire reconsideration. 1t is, however,
now confidently expected that the
work of tue committee will he com
pleted to-day and he laid before the Re
publican caucus Tomorrow for approval Or
amendment. The Democratic Caucns Com
mittee, whose task ia simpler, hes its work
80 far advanced thst it can complete it at
one hours session 10 soon as the R5publi-
en- list is laid before it. The committees
will probably he appointed by the Senate

session hegin on that day.

follows:
BosToN, November %, 1887.
Gen. Daniel Butterieid,
Your asking my consent and signature
to an invitation to the Comte De Paris to
deliver an address At Gettysburg, answer
by telegraph as requested. am too
American and hope too much of soldier
of the War Of the Rebellion, TO invite a
Frenchman who, because he was prince,
was permitted TO play soldier
for his own aggrsndisement on the staff Of
q commanding general in that war, and
who as such officer was at one time at the
head of that generals bureau of informs-
tion, and for want of knowledge Of the
peculiarities of our people and the idioms
of our language did his commander, as
happen to know, great mischief, to speak
for the armies of the United States at the
reunion at Gettysburg. / would rather
agree to any officer of the rank of colonel or
above, who served through the war, TO be
such representative of our soldiers.
Signed BENZ. +. BUTLER.

Throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, December 9.--R. &. Dun
4 Co. in their weekly review of trade say
Legitimate trade continues fairly active
Tor the season, though embarrassed in
some branches by fluctuations in specula,
tive markets. Speculation in products,
alter a few days wild advance, has taken
turn downward, az the natural result OF
enormous sales to realize with rapidly eX-
panding currency. Money is generally
easier than week ago, though rates are
still high ut many points. Complaints OF
low collections do not diminish.
The money markets are, on the whole,
easier, and the pressure at speculative cen,
tres continues. Wheat speculation
reached lO5,000,OO bushels for the
week. Prices advanced sharply, only
to close shade lower than week ago.
Corn aud oats, in spite of the recen,
reaction, gained 35c for the week. Oil
is uncha, ged Coffee advanced &c and the
excitement IN minor metals has lifted cop
per BE and tin nearly lc per pound,
but the reaction in the pork pro
duct takes prices little lower
than q week ago. The average
rise in food products since July | was q
shade over 20 per cent, Oh Tuesday, and
it is questioned whether the legitimate
effect of partial failure of crops has not been
fully realized in prices, but the increasing
supply OF currency still tends TO keeI
speculation active.
The business fajlurea during the last
seven days number for the United State'
22G, Canana %, total 25i, compared with
pa last week, and 274 for the correspond
ing week last year.
